Fantastic Job!!!

Yes i was going to i think its got all the bits built in to work but not sure as i have not tried them yet they are for a Golf

whaat do yo think the problem would be not to good on electrics

Thanks I was in Athens 3 weeks ago with my business noticed a lot of old VW's there are they cheap to buy ??:)

You've done a real kick ass job so far, those pictures spell out the hark work you've put into it for those who have done it themselves. I can't wait to see more progress!

As for the flasher relay, if you don't change out the stock relay the lights will blink very fast. What you need to get is a relay specifically for LED lights which can be found online fairly cheap.

the car painted in the gazebo thats dedication

If you come by again to visit our country i will show you more beetles than the cheap ones!!!

Great job, looks like you've been really efficient too! Keep us updated please.

Budgets are usually tight. But some thing usually eat up most of the cost. I have at least 6 (SIX) Grand already tied up in engine parts and work alone, and most done by me. http://www.germanlook.net/forums/album.php?albumid=22 Guess i will have to get a gazebo and learn how to paint. just so i can stay on whats left in my budget.

Thats going to be one hell of a motor would love that

Was going to turbo it but changed mind. Will go with 10:1 CR and 51mm throttle body fuel injection. Not a daily driver you see! :o There is a portion of fan that Porsche uses to route air over the cylinders more effectively, but is left out on most conversions. Will have to be trimmed and adujsted for type 1-4 use but well worth the effort. I will scan you a pic of the part so you will see what I am talking about.Part# 18 on the attached pic

Yes i know the bit that you mean

i have fitted an oil cooler in my fan housing type 1 remember without modding the fan housing
wher i live a guy near me flys vw powered planes and he use to make the adaptors which i managed to get one of him to retain std cooler also running thermostat and external cooler with mine just hope it will be ok i have ran it up on my test bed and did seem ok

That's a sweet test bed. Without any shrouding for the oil-cooler, I'd be concerned about airflow. Path of least resistance is around the oil-cooler, not through it.

AMEN Brother!

Hi

Nice looking motor.

I have about 2,000 ks on a motor in my daily driver/sons car. Its a 1904cc, stock valve heads, mild cam, twin 40 Dells etc.

I got rid of the stock cooler and fitted a cooler in the front of the car, doesn't overheat on 30 C plus days, highway or heavy peak hour traffic and warms up quick, I have a fan on it for insurance but its hardly ever needed.

Its fitted behind grille in the front apron, but the Kamei blocks it, I'm reluctant to cut the Kamei so the fan is sometimes needed at high speeds.

The point I'm trying to make is if your internal cooler doesn't work to well, make sure you fit the external one in a good place.

Hi Steve thanks for advice i do also have an external one fitted with thermostat plumbed in but will be somewhere like above gearbox as dont have option of putting up front like on an 03 model so i hope it will run ok
